As defense attorney Arthur Aidala points out in the videotape, robbers and burglars will know that no police are coming, even if someone calls the police, and so they will feel no fear, or need to run. Thus, there will not only be more burglaries and rapes, but more burglaries will lead to rapes and murders.

And if police refuse to come to the scene of a robbery or burglary to take a report from the victim and interview any witnesses, the CPD will “disappear” the crime altogether. Police operators aren’t going to make police reports.
